Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Normal Union Arithmetic, Graded Course, Vol. 3
This advance in education has been nowhere more noticeable than in the improvements of text-books upon Arithmetic. A few years ago an unpretending little work, Colburn's Intellectual Arithmetic, was pre sented to the public. That little work touched Arithmetic as with the wand of an enchantress, and transformed it from a dry collection Of mechanical processes to a thing of interest and beauty. It laid the foundation of that system of Mental Arithmetic which has infused a new spirit into the science of numbers, and has done more than any other in?uence to vitalize the methods of common school instruction in this country.
